Tesla switches on camera-based driver monitoring for Autopilot users Welcome to the Daily Crunch for May 28, the last edition before a long weekend here in the United States. But impending holiday or not, there’s plenty to catch up on, not the least of which today is Elon Watch in our top-three rundown. Let’s get into it! — Alex All about Elon: The only thing more certain than more venture rounds and SPAC news in the tech game these days is the inevitably of Elon Musk making news. This week was no exception, with the Tesla boss in the media today for turning on in-car cameras when their driver assistance is switched on and his Boring company’s Las Vegas tunnel challenges. The EU examines TikTok: The tech-and-government theme we’ve tracked all week continued today with the European Union launching “what it described as ‘a formal dialogue’ with the video sharing platform over its commercial practices and policy.” The social media giant’s kid-focused policies appear to be in the EU’s crosshairs. Healthcare can be lucrative startup ground: That’s what we learned reading Doximity’s IPO filing this morning. The venture-backed health tech company grew like a weed during the COVID-19 pandemic and is capitalizing on its gains by going public while markets are hot.
